[Data Collection]

Collection description

The dataset provides the complete enumeration of gambling policies implemented by Italian Municipalities between 2003 and 2021. The dataset comprises information on all municipalities existing in 2017 and following years (thus considering also merging). The following variables are available: Municipality ISTAT Code (ID), Municipality Name (Name) Province, Region, Researcher, and a series of variables identifying the number and the type of rulings adopted (“regolamento”, “ordinanza” and “delibera”). The rulings are distinguished between identified and downloaded or only identified (because the document is no longer available). Additional variables describe municipal activism with other administrative acts (Anti-gambling Manifesto, events, projects or tax reductions). Overall, the dataset comprises 8031 units.

Data collection method: Sampling frame The units of analysis are Italian municipalities. The mapping procedure adopted a sampling frame for Italian municipalities based on the ISTAT list of municipalities in the year 2017 (January 1) as main inclusionary criteria (7983 units), corrected for those municipalities active in the year 2020. The resulting list thus also includes some municipalities that later merged into new municipalities in 2018, 2019 and 2020, for a total of 8031 units. As for the variables, we did not set any time limits, thus considering all documentation available. During the period April 15 – July 31, 2020, we divided all municipalities into 41 groups via randomized assignment without re-insertion. A group of municipalities was assigned to each researcher. During the period August 1 – October 15, 2020, three additional researchers checked three additional groups of cities (produced with random selection), to check for consistency. Mapping protocol The protocol was developed by Bassoli and Pedroni (2015) and later adapted for this dataset. We gathered information on the presence of local ruling using a standard procedure of web-search based on keywords. We identified three phases for our search: the web search, the municipal website and gambling dedicated websites. As for the first phase, we opted for the Google™ search-engine because it is the most widely used search engine and the one with a stronger user-led learning algorithm. We then identified two possible sets of key words for each type of act (regolamento, ordinanza and delibera) ("Comune + [name of the municipality] + azzardo + [type of act]" and "Comune + [name of the municipality] + ludopatia + [type of act]") and two additional key words influenced by the language used in the official documents and tested by Bassoli and Pedroni (2015)("Comune + [name of the municipality] + gioco + regolamento and "Comune + [name of the municipality] + apparecchi + ordinanza") As for the second phase, we analysed both the online public notices board (with only recent publications) and its archive (with older documents). The keywords used to find relevant documents in the online archives were “apparecchi”, “azzardo” and “ludopatia”. While within each document (to check the document relevance) the key words were the following: “awp”, “sale giochi” and “slot machines”. Finally, for the third focal phase, we selected six websites identified using key-informants: agimeg.it, avvisopubblico.it, gioconews.it, jamma.tv, legalita.net, and pressgiochi.it. All the information obtained on the web was inserted in two documents: the database and a survey gathering information about each document, which is available upon request.
Statement on legal, ethical and access issues: The focus of the research was identifying formal regulations (regolamento, ordinanza and delibera). Therefore, the variables Reg, Regi, Regin, Ord, Ordi, Ordin, and Deli were collected using consistent procedures and a thorough mapping of the building regulation (Rege). Other information contained in the dataset is of lower quality. For example, the variables indicating the subscription of the “Manifesto dei sindaci per la legalità contro il gioco d’azzardo” (Manifesto_d, Manifesto), the presence of tax deduction (Tari), the presence of a political debate (Dibattito) or the development of specific projects (Proj) were collected to provide only a general understanding of local gambling activism. The keywords were not coherent with a thorough mapping of the building regulation (Rege), Finally, the dataset does not contain information about the temporal validity of each document thus, hindering the possibility of determining the level of policy coverage per year.
